The Grammar of English Grammars

A comprehensive, methodically arranged grammar of English that opens with historical and critical context and proceeds through precise rules, definitions, and abundant illustrative examples. It provides instruction in parsing and correction, exercises for writing, questions for examination, and appendices treating each major part of grammar. The author evaluates different methods of analysis, supplies decisions and proofs on disputed points, and offers observations for advanced study. Practical application is emphasized through drills and corrective practice designed to make grammatical principles readily accessible and usable by both learners and teachers.
